Fergie loved him. Gave him plenty of minutes. Moyes sold him straight away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t mean specifically academy players just their younger players in general. Diaby is another good example. Fair enough, he was 23 when he moved though not 21 just checked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) I hope he goes somewhere that's not a complete joke of a competition - the MLS would be nice indeed, but my bet is the Saudis, the money is way too silly to refuse. Anyway, I know he has a (deserved) reputation to be a bit of a tosser, but he was one of the best holding midfielders of his time, and a key to our success. He's still an incredibly smart player that can be very useful in a less demanding league. Edited May 10, 2023 by Village Idiot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Barca get all those embarrassing beatings in Europe with a more mobile player there I don't think it's solely on him. The issue was playing too many unathletic players in the defensive unit. If we'd surrounded Busquets with pace we'd been fine - instead we played him with Piqué and Lenglet.

SUPERTOON Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 If Liverpool get him and Mac Allister that’s their midfield issues sorted. They will be right back up challenging next season you would imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Aye. I was thinking about our options and I think if prefer another all rounder such as Thuram or Kone to replace Longstaff, rather than am outright number six like Ugarte. Either would work like.

Aye, I keep forgetting we're in Europe, so we'll likely need more options in there. I can see one being a more marquee name and another being one for the future, like that lad from Bristol City.

Would be surprised if Liverpool were to get Lavia alongside Mac Allister and Ugarte, particularly are they seem set on moving Trent central as well. Not sure we will get Lavia regardless mind, we have yet to be strongly linked (not that the media knows that much). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
